I don't agree with Dan that a forum is not needed. The forum I read is at http://www.losteye.com/
The URL direct to the forum is:

The support group is useful for people newly undergoing enucleation and also for those of us having further surgery and also for discussing problems with implants and prostheses. Some also need to share their feelings about facial disfigurement and the resultant lack of confidence.

> Anybody know of the names of any support groups for these unfortunate > people? Anybody know the medical name fpr this affliction? TIA My wife and I have two eyes, but we only use one. I know that my bad eye could be used with correction, and I might even be able to drive just using it. My wife has amblyopia, and she has been told that she could probably learn to use the bad eye if she lost the good one.
It's really not that bad having only one eye, but of course you don't have a backup. I don't see the need of a support group. My wife and I aren't going to be world famous ball players, but we do just fine.
